Stop the Prosecution of Maria Rojas Under Texas' Abortion Ban
64 so far! Help us get to 100 signers!
Do everything in your power to stop the prosecution of Maria Rojas. This woman is facing up to life in prison and a $10,000 fine for providing reproductive healthcare. She was the first person arrested under Texas' 2021 near-total abortion ban, and now faces 27 felony counts — charges her own attorneys describe as built on no concrete evidence, with a lead investigator "jumping to wild conclusions." This is exactly what happens when you strip away a fundamental right: providers get criminalized and patients lose access to care.
Rojas served her community through clinics that are now shuttered. Her midwife license has been suspended. The state is piling on charges while she hasn't even received discovery in her own criminal case. Whatever you think of the politics, prosecuting a healthcare provider into potential life imprisonment is punitive, disproportionate, and wrong. Speak out against this case publicly, push for legislative reform to Texas' abortion ban, and use every tool available to protect providers and patients from this kind of state overreach.
